Inspired by personal experience

The backstory
You play as a 25-year-old character from Arsur. In this empire, magic is the norm—something everyone learns from an early age. The Crown rules these lands, and the world’s spirits choose the ruler. They pass on the deceased’s golden eyes onto the next. However, you find yourself in a troubling situation. Your parents are dead, and someone has killed the Crown. The spirits, however, have chosen you—and have marked you with the golden eyes.
Gameplay

Finally, come into contact with the General, the strategic leader of the Imperial Army.
The game lets you decide on your character’s name, magic skills, and gender pronoun. Interestingly, your character’s behaviour will change based on the decisions you make. These choices will decide on eight different character traits. Be careful, however, with what you choose.
